Chips mentions the many clubs where he lunches and dines. He never mentions what he eats and seldom mentions what is served at 5 Belgrave Square or Kelvedon.
Last week I was invited to the Savile to hear Simon Heffer talk about Chips Channon’s diaries, of which he has edited two volumes with one more due in September.
It’s back. I first went with my sister and brother-in-law for a late supper circa 1980. I last went before Guys and Dolls with an investment banker (retired).
It’s part of a politician’s job to open their mouths and put their feet in it. I voted for Jeremy Hunt to lead the Conservative (and Unionist) party but I will never forget him saying his wife is Japanese on a visit there. (She is Chinese.)
